CALL A VET NOW!!! Even if all they do is give you some advise to get you thru until tomorrow, you need to call them. Don't ask us, we don't know what we're talking about. (As demonstrated by a lot of really bad answers you've gotten already.)

Please take it to the vet, ASAP rat poisen contains a blood thinner and the pets may very likely die if not treated. Here is some info:
"Most rat baits that you can get from the supermarket are based on anticoagulants. These baits are of two basic types. The first are those generally termed multi-feed rodenticides and the second are those that are single-feed rodenticides.
The oldest anticoagulant bait is based on the chemical warfarin. Ratsak is the most commonly recognised. Another readily available rodenticide is based on the chemical coumatetralyl available as the Bayer product Racumin. Both warfarin and coumatetralyl are multi-feed rodenticides. This means that the rat must eat these types of baits over several days to become affected by them. This means that pets and wildlife are less at risk because they either have to consume a large quantity of bait in one sitting or consume small quantities of bait over a long period.
Single feed rodenticides act more quickly. These rat baits are more toxic to rats and pets and a single dose is more likely to cause poisoning. Single feed rodenticides are those containing brodifacoum (e.g.Talon) and bromadialone (e.g.Bromakil). They are commonly available from local supermarkets.
Brodifacoum is at least 40 times more potent that warfarin and is much more likely to cause the death of a rat, a pet or a wild animal with a single feed. Secondary poisoning is also more likely to occur because a rat can have enough bait in its stomach to poison a dog and certainly a bird. Large dogs are less at risk because they are less likely to hunt and because they are less likely to ingest enough bait to affect them.
"What are the signs of anticoagulant poisoning?
If a pet is affected by an anticoagulant poison, the signs of the toxicity may not be evident for several days. The main signs of such toxicity relate to anaemia from blood loss. The blood can be lost from many areas of the body but commonly it is seen in bloodstained faeces, blood appearing in the saliva or appearing from the nose. Breathlessness, from blood pooling in the chest cavity, is a common sign also. Weakness is very common and the gums and tongue are usually very pale due to blood loss and the resultant anaemia.
Your veterinarian will treat you pet with Vitamin K and other medications and if the condition is caught early enough, treatment is usually effective, particularly so with the multi-feed rodenticides."

Will you need to take it to the vet asap because if your cats weighs lease than 30-35 pounds it could die and not have a chance but if you can get it to drink milk the milk will cover the stomach and your cat will be OK.

You can't take your poor cat to the vet because, boo hoo, you don't have a car at your house? No friends with vehicles? If you don't have time to take your poor friend to the vet, you certainly don't have time to be a pet owner.

find a neighbor or someone and get it to a vet. and there's a difference between not having time and not having a car. not having transportation is understandable, but FIND SOME! if you "don't have time" to take it to the vet, then perhaps you should reconsider being a pet owner.

If she ate poison, make her swallow some hydrogen peroxide. This will make her vomit. Our neighbor had to do this with his dog after it swallowed some rat poison, and it worked until he could get the dog to the vet. The vet told him to do this when he called.

Water will kill her faster you never give a poisoned thing water. Do you love your cat if so time can be made but if its a money thing then we understand dont say time.
